The new Star Trek movie and crew has inspired a lot of talk, and now it seems it has inspired its own parody comic strip. The fan made "Ensign Sue Must Die" web comic started up in May and already has 14 strips. More info and a look at the strip below.

Star Trek 2009 gets its own parody comic strip

"Ensign Sue Must Die" is the work of Clare Mosley and Kevin Bolk. Mosley writes the stories and Bolk handles the art. The comic is set on board the new USS Enterprise, as seen in the 2009 Star Trek movie. The parody strip follows the antics of Ensign Mary Amethyst Star Enoby Aiko Archer Picard Janeway Sue, who isthe youngest officer in Starfleet and "A skilled linguist… an unmatched warrior… a cunning strategist… a scientific genius… a gentle healer… a passionate lover… She is a woman of exceptional beauty, perfect in every way…and she’s driving the crew of a certain enterprising starship INSANE!"

And here is the new strip that was just released today, where we learn that Ensign Sue has an interesting heritage (click to see full size).

Simultaneously funny and disturbing (both for the same reason–it’s too damned accurate.) Also a nice shout-out to the textual atrocity that may be not merely the worst fanfic ever, but the worst THING ever (unless you believe that “My Immortal” was a big hoax. I recommend you do; it’s the only way to stay sane.)

#20: Eh, I’d really have to beg to differ on that one. You might call “The Eye of Argon” the Plan 9 of fan stories, and if you did, “My Immortal” would have to be the Manos. I’m pretty sure it’s an epic troll, though, because no one could possibly be that stupid and still be alive.

I just loved her getting back Archer’s Beagle that Scotty beamed into space, which has been partially assimilated, and naming it “Le Cutest of Beagle” – which took me far too long to notice the reference to!
